[+5REP] Two Microsoft problems.

1) The icon at the bottom which shows a disconnected connection may be showing a different connection for some reason. Or it may just be being ******ed.

2) Try to do things that were mentioned before, for example CCleaner scans and disabling some startup processes. However, it is probably more likely just to be your computer not being so good - you could try adding some more RAM!

1. Have a look and see if there is anything preventing the connection. A firewall or a program maybe?

2. Upgrade your RAM here, and it will auto-correct its self.

Enjoy.

Ok, forget the 1) now guys, onto the 2). So the main reason is too much memory used/taken up?

[Flisker]

I guess on start up Windows needs a lot of resources to get all services and programs started, so just disable some start up programs and load them when its finished booting up.

But I don't know what program is causing the black screen.

But I don't know what program is causing the black screen.

It's not a program, it's Windows loading up, nothing else is loaded apart from some antivirus and other programs that hook into the kernel bootup sequence. It's just a slow computer is all.
